Honestly, this isn't even as bad as the Lakers vs. New Jersey.In truth all true fans should be upset, the overall product was seriously degraded. Nothing good can come from letting the inmates run the asylum.

The only thing growing more rapidly is OKC fans butthurt. @gohusk said it well in the Finals thread, I'm starting to feel like a Patriots fan. Let the haters hate, I don't give a fuck.This is absolutely false. The NBA has always been a league where 2-3 teams at most have a real chance at a title. Some seasons, it's one team and a couple with a punchers chance.
In the 80's, it was the Lakers or Celtics for the entire decade (with a cameo by the Sixers), in the 90's, teams from either conference had a punchers chance at best vs. MJ's Bulls.
In the early 2000's it pretty much the Shaq/Kobe Lakers and everyone else. Their only true challenges were the Spurs and Kings.
Now we have the Warriors and some teams with a punchers chance at best.
Yet somehow, the league manages to keep growing in popularity.

No matter how well he plays or how many titles he wins, it was the ultimate in bitch moves to go to the warriors. How he got there should never be forgotten.
I guess he should have hosted an hour-long show on ESPN explaining where he was going?
But honestly, it will be.No matter how well he plays or how many titles he wins, it was the ultimate in bitch moves to go to the warriors. How he got there should never be forgotten.
He's not the first to form a super team.
He is the first to go to a super team that had already won a championship tho.
Robert Horry says "check out my fist full of rings"
But honestly, it will be.
It might take a decade to lessen the scorn.
But, it will happen eventually and he will be remembered as a winner.
Most likely. He's a great player. By all accounts he's a good dude and he's certainly carrying his weight over there, but I'll never root for the guy because I think he took the easy way out.
Kerr too.Robert Horry says "check out my fist full of rings"
I get it and you aren't alone.
It doesn't bother me as much.
But, I understand why it bothers others.
Sorry, I was talking about super stars. Horry was a nice contributing player, but that's it.
KD is a legit super star and probably a top5 player in the league, and he left to join the most talented team in the league so he could win easy rings. They had already been to 2 straight finals and won one of them. Now the league is broken and the only way anyone ever wins a title outside of Golden State is if they get a ton of injuries or their guys age/leave.
Kerr too.
But, they aren't prime Superstars.
But who's to say which kind of players can switch to a loaded team, and which can't? nobody told LeBron he couldn't go to Miami because he was a superstar, and they had won a title four years earlier. Who gets to make up the rules that says "players of a certain caliber can't go to certain teams that have won titles within X number of years?"
Durant only did what Lebron did, which was move to a team where he thought he'd have the best chance of winning. It just paid out quicker for KD.
